            "content": "Dear Portugal Textile teamMy name is Joey Linch, founder of OAKMONT, a luxury outerwear brand in development based in the Netherlands.OAKMONT is positioned within the quiet luxury segment: refined technical outerwear with clean aesthetics, exceptional materials and a strong focus on craftsmanship. The design language is minimal and understated, with only subtle branding such as a small tonal logo placement on the sleeve. No excessive branding. Quality that speaks for itself.We are currently looking for a serious European production partner who understands both luxury finishing requirements and the technical complexity of advanced garment construction.Our first hero product is a premium matte black puffer jacket featuring an internal Dyneema\u00ae woven fabric layer integrated into the garment construction. This layer is intended to serve as a technical reinforcement and a visible interior element, while remaining fully hidden from the exterior and positioned between the outer shell, insulation and lining.The goal is a garment that looks and feels like pure luxury outerwear while carrying a meaningful technical architecture inside.We have a complete factory tech pack ready, and we are currently in direct contact with Avient\/Dyneema\u00ae and IBQ Textiles in Barcelona regarding material sourcing.At this stage, we are focused on prototype development first: 1 to 3 samples. If construction, fit and material integration are successful, we would then move into a first small production run.We are specifically looking for a partner willing to work with smaller initial quantities of 50 to 100 pieces before scaling.I have three initial questions:1. Does your team have experience integrating technical woven fabrics into hidden internal garment constructions while maintaining luxury drape, comfort and handfeel?2. Are you open to a small-batch production approach following a successful sampling phase?3. Would you be willing to sign a mutual NDA before we share our full tech pack and construction details?We would welcome a short introductory call or email exchange to explore whether there may be a good fit.Kind regardsJoey LinchFounder & Creative DirectorOAKMONT WEARLuxury Technical Outerwearinfo@oakmontwear.com",

At this stage, we are not making protective claims. The focus is on durability, abrasion resistance, material strength, comfort and premium wearability.We are looking for support with prototype\/sample development, pattern making, fit refinement, technical specifications, material advice and potentially a small first production run if the prototype is successful.\nProduct Category: Other\nMOQs: Lower than 100\/style.\nTarget Price: 150\nBrand Type: Start up\nCountry: Netherlands\n\nUploaded File\/Link: 4RYQKcWL-file-00000000d9cc71f485adfce8297b9e02-667d16.png\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided a form upload link (4RYQKcWL-file-00000000d9cc71f485adfce8297b9e02-667d16.png).

For OAKMONT, this could be considered for a first controlled production run, provided that the prototype development, construction, fit, material integration and final costing are aligned with the level we are aiming for.At this stage, our main priority is to understand the development route before committing to production. As this is a premium technical outerwear product with a more complex internal construction, we would first need to evaluate the sampling process, estimated prototype costs, development timeline, target production pricing and any technical limitations.Could you please confirm:1. Whether you are able to support prototype development before a 200-unit production order;2. The estimated cost range for developing one or more samples for this type of outerwear product;3. The approximate lead time for sampling and, afterwards, for a 200-unit production run;4. Whether the 200-unit MOQ applies per style only, or also per colour and per size;5. Whether you are open to signing a mutual NDA before reviewing the full construction details.If the development process and costing are commercially realistic, we are open to discussing a 200-unit first production run.Kind regards,Joey LinchFounder & Creative DirectorOAKMONT WEARLuxury Technical Outerwearinfo@oakmontwear.comOp 18 mei 2026 13:59 schreef Matilde Azevedo <info@portugaltextile.com>:Hello Joey,\n\nThank you for the details and for providing the Tech Pack.\n\nI see that you are looking to develop a premium technical outerwear product.
